Yes precisely! I'm only interesting in a single string for each BibTeX entry, namely the crossref field, which follows from the @type{crossref, lines.
The type itself can be one of 14 standard types (as I confirmed see here, here and here), where @article and @misc are the two most common types (at least for me). Is that still easy to do?
PS: How do you do monospace code formatting in this forum? It's not just the grave accent `like this` as in Github Markdown.

Hi all,
Does this exist already: An Alfred workflow that will simply autocomplete a typed word from a textfile list of special words?
If not, does anyone have an idea of how to achieve this? I'm most comfortable in Python so I could probably start making this myself if somebody gave me some pointers.
The use case is auto-completion of references stored in a .bib file when I write academic articles in Typora using pandoc-crossref for references, however I have to remember all references in my head since there is no autocompletion from linked .bib file.
(I have asked for this before, however I was probably being too specific in my request, so now I'm making it more general just as an autocompletion system linked up to a file.)

Very simple alfred workflow that paste one of the symbols in {#, *, -, =, %} N times.
I sometimes find i various programming languages (or just LaTeX) that I want to make a visual distinction between blocks of code. A quick an easy way to do this is with this workflow:
#bar N
*bar N
-bar N
=bar N
%bar N
Example usage:
